The Mental Health Association of Orange County (MHA) is dedicated to improving the quality of life of Orange County residents impacted by mental illness through direct service, education, advocacy and information dissemination.

MHA provides all of its services in a supportive environment within the context of a psychosocial rehabilitation philosophy, with wellness and recovery the goal. This client-centered approach emphasizes wellness rather than illness, resulting in effective life management, empowerment, independence, self-sufficiency, and community re-integration – regaining dignity and dreams.
